Nice place between towns. We’re there for a wedding in one town and shopping and such in another. Not in town which is what we preferred, nice country setting
Was nice but there was dog hair all over. We got it cleaned and the stay was good .

Place is clean, affordable, and comfortable. They left us some of the best dang muffins I’ve had in a long time. I would definitely come back just for the muffins.
Highly recommend. I have a deer camp nearby with no lodging on site so this place was a perfect fit! Off 290 enough to be very quiet but not so far out of Harper that it’s inconvenient! Super quiet spot with lots of deer around as well as a couple very friendly cats lol.Old “farmhouse” feel home, internet was strong, appliances and such all modern and work well. They have everything you need to cook on the stove!Will likely stay here again!

Jacob, thank you for your review. We are happy you had a positive stay and we would live to have you stay anytime.
The home was a lovely quiet retreat! The home was very clean and comfortable. The deer watching was fun and the kittens were a nice surprise! The hosts were very attentive.
Mama’s Haus was wonderful. The house was perfect, everything we needed and was spacious. The outdoor setting was even better. Off the FM road down a pretty drive, and surrounded by nothing but nature. The topper were the two sweet and friendly cats we called Doss & Harper & several deer visitors.
Beautiful well equipped home with all the amenities of home. We loved all the hummingbirds and deer to watch. Very relaxing. My husband frequently hunts in the area and I love to shop in Fredericksburg, so it's a win for us both. We hope to be back soon.
Amazing property that is well kept and cozy. Your first met by the cabin cats who live outside the cabin. These very happy cats love pets and attention. The cabin has big windows to view all the deer that come right up to the property and the two Armadillos that will dig around the yard. You feel safe and secluded in a cabin that gives you the perfect hill country experience.
Didn’t bring our dog but loved the cats. We like the privacy and isolation and it was close to the friends we were visiting on the other side of Harper.Our only complaint was my wife and I both sunk into the beds to the extent my back hurt. And we are not large people.
The check-in process was easy, amenities were fantastic, and the property was well maintained. We loved being out in the country. It was so peaceful, yet close enough to Harper. There were deer, two cute outdoor kittens, and hummingbirds. This property was stocked with anything one could possibly need. The hosts were readily available if needed. We definitely recommend Mom’s Haus and will stay there again in the future.
